What shop has the best prices? Massachusetts has Four Seasons who's prices are rarely beat by other gun shops in the state but what would be New Hampshires equivalent to that?
What are you looking to buy? Based on your reference to Four Seasons I assume its limited to new guns of the popular/carry/defense nature?
I ask because the general type might drive which shop is competitive in the segment. It isn't going to help you much if I give you a shop that has good prices on Browning O/U guns is it?
Since your last 2 threads are 'wutz the cheapest shield price' and 'what's the cheapest gun store in NH', let me give you some unsolicited advice:
Saving 20 bucks on a gun and spending 20 bucks on gas after researching for 2 hours isn't a savings
Consider establishing a relationship with a local gun store instead of being an NES skinflint. So the LGS is here long term.
And you don't need to travel to a different state to buy an M&P 15-22. They are regularly for sale in MA, I bought one here at a LGS.

THIS!!! Especially on something so cheap as a 15-22...
Not everyone is swimming in the dough.
I get it, "this".
You you want the best price. I get it. I have to ask though, if saving $20 is such a huge deal to you, should you be buying a firearm? Perhaps that money is better spent somewhere else. Gas, rent, bills, etc.
Not trying to be a jerk, but if you're that poor perhaps now isn't the time.

I'm looking for a M&P 15-22. It's a rifle I'd be able to buy in New Hampshire so I'm looking for a new one at a good price. Shooters Outpost had them used for 450 which is a lot..maybe I was looking at the wrong tags idk, I should of asked.
If you can save money why wouldn't you, it has nothing to do with being poor. I like to save as much money as I can on a hobby.

Something tells me your that kinda guy.
Because there's these neat little things called "hidden costs". Like the gas and your time, etc. Driving 120 miles to save $20 on a cheap .22 rifle is kind of a fools errand. On the other hand if I can correlate my trip with other stops, that's not so bad.
For example if FS has a rifle on sale for $300 and my guy in NH has it for $300, but he's another hour away (round trip time) I have to evaluate whether or not its a better idea to just pay the $18.75 in sales tax vs driving that distance and the value of the fuel and my time.
Of course there's another transaction cost. You could drive to NH and discover that version of the rifle sold there isn't legal here. Then have to pay compliance cost to get it neutered. When it comes out in the wash the rilfe might even be more expensive in NH.... because of the neutering problem, assuming they don't stock mass versions. Very few NH shops sell mass neutered guns. Shooters outpost does here and there but that's about it, and it's not always consistent. Plus I would bet their price isn't far off from FS or a few other mass shops.

Buying new, the prices aren't always fair.
You're wrong. I've bought a few guns off of here and not once tried to talk a person down because they where fair prices. Buying new, the prices aren't always fair. If FS has a gun for 300 and another has it for 240, the shop with 240 will get my money and it's almost not even about the money but the fact that the shop isn't trying to jerk you.
I'm far from cheap I just refuse to be taken advantage of.
The other factor not considered is instead of dinking around searching the net for a $20 better price you could already own the rifle and be shooting it......Instead of dinking around on the net.
Not one tried to talk someone down on nes? That's not what I've heard!
And your telling me youd pay 240 on a gun 100 miles away vs 300 on the same gun down the street? There's something wrong with you. Really.
